Summer time

I've been playing with some post production effects to achieve a weathered, vintage Polaroid look for my photographs. Thank you Rayna for wearing your favorite denim. It makes the shot.

Luis,Rayna and the funny face

January 30th

We spend a lot of time hovering over "our" kids - making sure they/we are getting all that they "need" stimulation wise. Lately, I am astounded by Rayna's imagination, sense of humor, and keen ability to absorb the world around her. May those gifts carry her gracefully through life.

Happy New Year

For Christmas this year Rayna got a new mini kitchen that fits snugly where Inka's dog bowl used to fit. Don't worry Inka is still eating. We just moved her bowl over.
Rayna's vocabulary and association skills baffle us. Every day she is trying more and more words. It's really great to watch. My new favorite word of hers is spatula.
Rayna pronounces it PAPALA! With great enthusiasm. I guarantee when she wakes from her nap she will run to the utensil drawer and triumphantly yell, "TWO PAPALA!".
I can't believe she's going to be two years old in three short months.
